After both sides finished level on 228, the Panthers posted 20/1 in the decider, restricting the Blasters to 7/0.
Parkar's record-breaking knock
Batting first on a batting-friendly surface, Blasters skipper Suved Parkar smashed the fastest century in the tournament's history, reaching the milestone in just 46 balls by launching off-spinner Tanush Kotian for three successive sixes. He eventually fell for a sparkling 110 off 54 deliveries, studded with 10 fours and seven sixes.
Parkar and Prateekkumar Ravishankar set the tone with a 101-run opening stand in just eight overs, with Ravishankar contributing a brisk 33 off 15. A 67-run partnership with Parag Khanapurkar (22 off 15) kept the scoreboard ticking before Jay Jain (28 not out) and Dhrumil Matkar (28) added a quickfire 52-run stand, propelling the Blasters to 228/5 — the second-highest total of the competition.
Tamore, Kotian keep Panthers alive
In response, Hardik Tamore extended his rich vein of form with a blistering 83 off 39, racing to a half-century in just 17 balls. He built crucial partnerships with skipper Rahane (15) and Abhigyan Kundu (39) to keep the chase on track.
The contest swung when leg-spinner Sagar Chhabriaa struck three quick blows, removing Tamore, Ayush Vartak, and Aayush Zimare. With the equation tightening, Tanush Kotian's unbeaten 32 off 14 — laced with two sixes and two fours — dragged the Panthers to 228/8, forcing a tie.
How the Super Over unfolded
In the decider, Vaibhav Mali struck two sixes and a four to power the Panthers to 20/1. The Blasters managed only 7/0 in reply, handing Rahane's side their second win on the trot.
What's next
Shardul Thakur's Eagle Thane Strikers face Sarfaraz Khan-led Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburb later in the day. The Tigers, who lost their opener in a Super Over, will be desperate to open their account.
